The Jeep® CJ-5 Renegade can be credited for capturing the “Jeeping” spirit among younger Americans to go out and explore the country. The 1972-83 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade was the first to feature a 3.8 L (optional 4.2 L) American Motors-built engine, and starting in 1972 the wheelbase was stretched 3 inches and a full-floating Dana 30 axle was made available. Even more capable of severe off-roading, the Renegade was transformed into an adventure icon. And perhaps as important, the Great Escape ads were simply fantastic.
